consist of the following controls and indicators:
Emergency Stop Switch

Feed Rate Control
– used in conjunction with the
Feed Rate Start/Stop Control (see below); this
knob is used to set the downward head speed
that is applied to the saw blade. The feed rate is
proportional to the opening of the valve. When

Increasing the valve opening (counter-clockwise
adjustment) increases the feed rate; decreasing
the valve opening (clockwise adjustment)
reduces the feed rate.

above); in the locked position the saw head is
prevented from descending; in the unlocked
position the saw head will descend at the rate
determined by the Feed Rate Control setting.
